WARNING: This documentation covers Parallels H-Sphere versions up to 3.1. For the latest up-to-date Parallels H-Sphere documentation, please proceed to the
official Parallels site.
A billing profile is a set of billing details such as
customer's credit card information and/or
billing info (first and last name, company, address, phone, e-mail, etc.)
It is required
to collect payments from a customer.
One customer can have multiple billing profiles, but only ONE ACTIVE AT A TIME.
For instance, a user can have two credit cards, VISA and
MASTERCARD, and a check account. This user can have three
billing profiles, two for credit cards and one for checks.
If the VISA billing profile is set active, the MASTERCARD
won't be charged and no check payments will be necessary.
One billing profile can be used for multiple accounts. This means
a user with several accounts can pay with one card or receive
all bills at one mailing address.
Trial users don't have billing profiles until they choose
to become pay users. The system, however, tracks all trial
user's purchases and includes them into the first bill.
When edited, the billing profile is not actually modified. Rather,
a new version of billing profile is created, and the old version
is preserved to allow tracking payments.

Do I Create A Billing Profile? of the user manual.
